It’s not uncommon to see calls for engineers, programmers, and even artists for MMORPGs, but it’s producers that Cryptic Studios is seeking, according to a job posting yesterday on Gamasutra.
“Cryptic Studios is currently seeking full-time Producers. We are seeking sharp, motivated people to join our team and work on Massive Multiplayer Online (MMO) games. Located in Northern California in Los Gatos, we offer the fun, focused, and casual atmosphere of a small developer. We actively balance our work with the personal lives of our employees. At Cryptic, we look for people who have passion for what they do and work well in teams to create and operate fun and challenging online games. Producers at Cryptic Studios work closely with designers, artists and programmers to organize and coordinate the game development process. A Producer’s number one priority within the development structure is to make sure everyone else can get their job done. This means a no nonsense approach to problem solving with daily communication with and working to support all the members of the team in task management and scheduling challenges.”
The studio has long been rumored to be working on a new MMORPG title, as the website still boasts that “Cryptic Studios is working on at least one top secret project,” though it’s unclear whether that project was the aborted Jurassic World title canceled last year. The studio suffered the loss 14% of its employees in early 2015 following two rounds of layoffs at parent company PWE that a vetted source told Massively OP amounted to a “slaughter.”
